Chinese Journal of Medical Instrumentation 2015;39(3):166-169
To ensure the meridian can be measured and displayed correctly on the human body surface, a visualization method based on impedance and binocular vision is proposed. First of all, using alternating constant current source to inject current signal into the human skin surface, then according to the low impedance characteristics of meridian, the multi-channel detecting instrument detects voltage of each pair of electrodes, thereby obtaining the channel of the meridian location, through the serial port communication, data is transmitted to the host computer. Secondly, intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of cameras are obtained by Zhang's camera calibration method, and 3D information of meridian location is got by corner selection and matching of the optical target, and then transform coordinate of 3D information according to the binocular vision principle. Finally, using curve fitting and image fusion technology realizes the meridian visualization. The test results show that the system can realize real-time detection and accurate display of meridian.

Objective: To observe whether an Xingnaojing 醒脑静 injection could improve the prognosis of patients,
by increasing rifampicin penetration through the blood-brain barrier. Methods: Patients with severe
tuberculous meningitis were enrolled in this study. The concentrations of Xingnaojing in cerebrospinal
fluid and blood in patients treated with Xingnaojing and control were determined by high performance
liquid chromatography. The changes in cerebrospinal fluid and the improvement of clinical symptoms
and signs, were evaluated two weeks after admission. The long-term prognosis of the patients in the
two groups were evaluated by the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS). Results: The concentration of
rifampicin in cerebrospinal fluid was significantly higher in the Xingnaojing group (1.77±0.17 μg/mL),
than in the control group (1.27±0.16 μg/mL, p<0.05). The difference in concentration of rifampicin
in the blood was not significant (P>0.05). The short-term effective rate of the Xingnaojing group was
92.5% (37/40), which was significantly higher than that of the control group (80%, 32/40, p<0.05).
After 6 months, 75% (30/40) of the Xingnaojing group had good prognosis according to the GOS
score, whereas that of the control group was 50% (20/40) showing significantly better long-term
treatment effect of the Xingnaojing group compared to the control group (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Xingnaojing injection improved rifampicin penetration into the central nervous system.
The increase in rifampicin concentration in cerebrospinal fluid improved outcomes in patients with
severe tuberculous meningitis.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the interval time to canceration, clinicopathological characteristics and prognostic factors of carcinoma in remnant stomach (CRS) in patients with primary benign diseases or primary malignant tumors.
METHODSBased on the criteria of the definition of CRS proposed by Japanese Gastric Cancer Association in 2017, a retrospective analysis was conducted on clinicopathological characteristics of patients diagnosed with CRS at Peking University Cancer Hospital from March 1992 to March 2017. Between patients with primary benign diseases (CBS-B group) and primary malignant tumors (CBS-M group), continuous variables were compared using the Student's t-test or the Mann-Whitney U test; categorical variables were compared using the chi-square test or Fisher's exact test. Spearmen-Rho was used to examine correlation. Survival was estimated and compared using Kaplan-Meier methods. Cox proportional hazards regression was applied to identify independent prognostic factors. Area under ROC curve(AUC) was used to evaluate and compare prediction accuracy.
RESULTSA total of 89 patients were included in the study with a male: female ratio of 5.4 to 1.0. The male: female ratio in CRS-B (n=46) and CRS-M (n=43) group was 14.3 to 1.0 and 2.9 to 1.0 respectively with significant difference (χ=6.091, P=0.019). The interval time to canceration in CRS-B and CRS-M group was 342(36-576) months and 47(12-360) months respectively with significant difference (t=8.887, P=0.000). The interval time to canceration was correlated with the first operative procedure in CRS-B group (r=0.398, P=0.006), while interval time to canceration was correlated with the age at the first operation in CRS-M group (r=0.337, P=0.027). After differentiating the pathological findings of the first operative sample and the second operative sample, 27 patients presented recurrence and 15 patients had new cancer, and the corresponding interval time to canceration was 46(12-132) months and 60(12-360) months respectively with significant difference (t=5.652, P=0.023). In CRS-B group, location of stump carcinoma in gastric intestinal anastomosis, gastric anastomosis, and non-anastomosis area was found in 60.9%(28/46), 23.9%(11/46) and 15.2%(7/46) respectively, and the corresponding percentage in CRS-M group was 39.5%(17/43), 16.3%(7/43) and 44.2%(19/43) respectively without significant difference (χ=4.726, P=0.096). Among 77 patients with radical gastrectomy, the overall surgical complication rate was 20.8%(16/77), including 8 cases of infection and 7 cases of respiratory system diseases. The 3-year survival rate was 78.4% and 62.6% in CRS-B and CRS-M group respectively with significant difference (χ=3.969, P=0.046), indicating better prognosis of CRS-B patients. The AUC for the lymph nodes ratio and N staging was 0.725 and 0.639 respectively. Multivariate analysis showed the pathological T staging was an independent risk factor of prognosis (HR=1.192, 95%CI:1.032-1.376, P=0.017).
CONCLUSIONSMen have more CRS than women. The interval time to canceration is correlated to the first operative procedure for CRS-B patients, while it is correlated to the age at the first operation for CRS-M patients. The major location of CRS is in the gastrointestinal anastomosis for CRS-B patients and in non-anastomosis area for CRS-M patients. Main postoperative complications include respiratory and infectious complications. Pathological T staging is an independent prognostic risk factor for CRS patients.

OBJECTIVE To prepare spider fibroin membrane loaded with Periplaneta americana extract, and investigate its characterization, in vitro drug release property and cytotoxicity. METHODS Using natural spider silk collected from Chilobrachys guangxiensis as raw material, P. americana extract as model drug, the drug-loaded spider fibroin membrane (hereinafter referred to as drug-loaded membrane) was prepared by solvent casting method. The material matrix spider fibroin membrane without P. americana extract (hereinafter referred to as blank membrane) was prepared with same method. The membrane structure was characterized by static water contact angle, Fourier infrared chromatography, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy from different angles; drug release characteristics in artificial saliva were simulated in vitro to evaluate the drug sustained-release performance. MTT assay was adopted to validate the cytotoxicity of drug-loaded membrane. RESULTS The drug-loaded membrane was prepared, and the static water contact angle was less than 90°, which was less than that of blank membrane. The drug-loaded membrane showed the characteristic absorption peak to polypeptide of P. americana extract at 1 500-1 700 cm-1. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy also proved that the drug was successfully loaded into the pellicle. The release time of the pellicle in artificial saliva was more than 200 min. The MTT test results showed that the cell proliferation rates of blank membrane and drug-loaded membrane were 84.6% and 79.4% (both greater than 70%), respectively, without significant potential cytotoxicity. CONCLUSIONS Drug-loaded membrane prepared with natural spider silk has a certain sustained-release effect in artificial saliva, which can be further developed as a drug sustained-release carrier with excellent biological characteristics and biocompatibility.
